Looks like the Rangers may have 3 years of Arb with Walsh, if they choose to keep him.
From a 1B perspective, I think Lowe would remain at 1B and Walsh would DH.
If Walsh and Taveras get off to solid starts, we could get some good return on them.

I think Church is close. I think there are some players that otherwise would have made the club.
Getting Lorenzen made a good problem. He may begin in the BP, if I read an article correctly.
11 Slots decided. 2 Left.
Eovaldi-Gray-Dunning-Heaney-Bradford (in no order)
Sborz - Leclerc - Robertson - Yates - Burke - Lorenzen
Bubble (on 40): Anderson, Latz,Yerry Rodriguez
NRI: Leiter,Duffy, Urena, Taylor, Robert
DL: Scherzer, Mahle, Hernandez
I think if you can work keeping Urena, you do it, even if it means Church & Leiter go to AAA to start the season.
See what Urena gives you. He can give you multiple innings so you don't have to rush Lorenzen.
Then, move Lorenzen to the rotation, send Bradford to the BP. Trade Urena.

I think you're right. I don't remember him with anything other than a full lumberjack beard.
My guess on year is 2011.

That huge beard came after the surgery to fix his sleep apnea. He grew that while in Boston IIRC

Ah, didn't notice that from previous. In my defense, my post was made a 4:46am while I was scrolling through twitter
Since it's almost the end of the off season, I couldn't help but notice the thread for little brother down south has 11k posts vs only 4k for us.
Of course, they've had a lot longer off season....

Should I start the official World Series Title Defense thread at the conclusion of today's game, or on Thursday morning?
When was last year's thread started?
Agreed! Follow the same method used last year.AgBQ-00 said:

To your point... Our offseason began after winning the World Series. It was started 11/2/23 @ 6:06p Central.
We're at 3516.
Context of our posts:
Celebrating the Rangers greatness
How we're going to repeat in 2024
To Monty or to not Monty
Me posting thousands of meaningless words and statistic
Celebrating the Bochy, CY, and Rangers.
Their thread started on 10/24. They were on page 59 (35posts/pg) with about 2,065 when we started our offseason.
They're at 11,143.
Context of their posts probably:
- Rip Dusty and blame him for failing in 2023
- Celebrating how Espada belongs in the conversation with all the greats: Joe McCarthy (MLB), Bochy, Torre, Landry, Lombardi, Belicheck, Phil Jackson, Popovich
- Denigrate Maldonado and blame him for failing in 2023
- T&A
- Tickling each other
- *****ing about "Arlington"
- Convincing each other that they deserve to win ALW in 2024
- Grabbing each other's asses.

Based on the prediction thread, they're convinced they'll win the entire AL and go to the WS. Winning the division is already preordained.Quote:

Final Exh game. I suspect final decisions and disclosures are forthcoming.
It was good to see some players get to experience RBiA/GLF as a player.
Rangers went deep into the BP and NRI.

Yep.
All of our players over-achieved and will regress even though they haven't reached their prime, while simultaneously saying our team is still young.
All of their players are veterans and anyone who under performed in 2023 will return to greatness even though they are past their prime.
Much of that is what we see parroted by the "journalists" who are paid by word count and not substance, I suppose.
We return our 4 leading SPs and will add 2 HoF SPs mid-season. We got rid of much of our RP that had a Save % less than 50%. We lose Garver, but add overall offensively.
We should be an improved team in Bochy+Maddux 2nd year. Two legends.
They will be going with a starting C that the previous HoF player and coach couldn't trust with the rotation supported by a 1st time Manager. Guess we'll see how it goes.

They are among the AL favorites, so I don't necessarily blame their optimism. Their bullpen will be nuts with two legit closers. What is the word on Bregman? Is 2024 going to be it and the walks via free agency, or are they expected to make a play for him. I know Altuve signed a pretty team friendly extension a few months back, but Bregman probably will be looking for a payday.
Supposedly
- 90% of their losses last year are due to maldy and dusty despite the fact that dusty is a future hall of fame manager, better than any manager we've ever had ( except Bochy), and all of the Astros pitchers loved pitching / working with maldy.
- all of our hitters overachieved…… big time and will fall back down to earth. All of our big name pitchers are more hurt than we're letting on and won't come back. They supposedly warned us about signing Degrom or trading for Scherzer.
- Dusty had a "bone to pick" with their backup catcher Diaz and was pissed that they traded one of his "favorites" Straw for him. Also supposedly Dusty loved Maldy and wasn't going to let maldy sit on the bench too long because of feelings, bonds, and friendships.
- Diaz would have crushed the rookie of the year award and made us all miserable in the playoffs last year.
- Several of them have wished serious injury or worse on adolis Garcia.
- they trash semien for playing everyday and think he's over rated
- they think we're crazy for calling Framber obese. He's a MOUNTAIN OF MUSCLE.
- they think we're located in "south Oklahoma"
Just a bunch of the derogatory comments from their "sexy pic good ole boys club" thread that I remember seeing over the last year or 2 about our team.
While we're on the subject, kudos to whoever reported the sexy pics on their thread. I know it was one of you, but it really struck a nerve with them and pissed them off.

There are some people down here trying to talk themselves into the Astros keeping him, but I don't see that happening unless this year completely cratered free agent expectations. Even then, I'd think they'll spend that money elsewhere.

Who would do such a thing?
Honestly such a great move.
What an epic meltdown

Talk about the Straw that broke... nevermind.
Walsh just went the other way for an RBI base hit with 2 outs. Such a good piece of hitting. Seems like he has earned a spot on the roster.
Langford had an 11G hitting streak going into yesterday's game. Went 0-fer to end the streak.
Started his next one today... 2-2.

yall are forgetting

And had a really nice 4-pitch walk right before the Walsh RBI hit where they clearly didn't want to pitch to Langford and he recognized it.DallasAg 94 said:

Jose Urena has officially made the opening day roster. He posted a 2.25 ERA - 20.9% K rate - 40% Ground Ball Rate over 16 innings pitched this spring. He is why Marc Church is not making the opening day roster, combined with the fact that Chruch is still 22. I have a feeling they sent Church down with specific, nit picky things to work on, and told him we'll see you in two months or less.
I'm really glad he made it. I've been pimping him for some time.
He and Walsh are the types of players Championship teams can pick off the heap and turn into gold. Tampa makes a living off taking in refugee SPs and nursing them back to great numbers in a pitchers park. Then, they parley they into gold.
When the OD Roster is set, there will be players demoted or unavailable who will push for their chance and decisions will be made.
